Scheme 2 in the original paper contains a mistake in the third step: condensation. The species at the left side of the arrow—2 ZrCl2(OH)(OiPr)—is incorrect and should be Zr(OH)2(OiPr)2. As a consequence, the equation is unbalanced. This error has been corrected here in Scheme 2, resulting in a balanced chemical equation where the sum of steps 1–3 results in the overall reaction equation. The text in the original manuscript was correct and all reported results remain unchanged.
